Human / Robot Distinction Recognition Using Electroencephalogram / Event-Related Potential N170

Abstract

　This paper presents a distinction recognition between robots by Electroencephalogram / Event-Related Potential N170 analysis. N170 is a waveform induced around 170 milliseconds after the presentation of a stimulus when a human face is presented as a stimulus. An experiment was performed on the assumption that the amplitude and time of the N170 wave change depending on the recognition of the human and the robot's face because the robot is recognized as an object rather than a human. As a result, it was confirmed that the amplitude and latency of N170 were changed by the robot. In the near future, we aim to increase the types of robots and clarify the degree of detailed recognition between humans and robots.
